[QUOTE=Heyitsrick;1995567]For the people here saying "you can't get a contract before you buy", you couldn't be more wrong. Why would anyone buy a contractual product - which is what annuities are - without actually reading the contract? That's absurd. Now, does that mean there aren't unscrupulous annuity sellers out there? No. But annuities are contracts. Never, ever buy an annuity where you don't know what the contract guarantees.
I agree that you should read a contract before signing it, but I don't know where to get one. A few friends have asked me for advice about specific annuities they were considering, but when I asked the companies for a copy of the contract, they refused to provide it.
I sent a message to Stan asking for a copy of an annuity contract to read. I hope he sends it to me.
